I am really upset with myself tonight. First of all, I haven't exercised any in 4 days then tonight I go even further and eat 20-25 french fries with melted velveeta. I don't like myself much right now even though I know deep down inside, I am not a failure nor will I give up..I just hate messing up :|
what kinda plan are you on? are you calorie counting? is so did you work it in to your calorie limit or did eating it put you way over? I say if you are a calorie counter to just eat a few less calories tomorrow liek calorie cycling...
for example Tonight I am SUPER hungry!!!!! I feel like I cant eat enough. I'm also about a week away from TOM so I know it's PMS.. there for tonight I'm going to allow my self to 1700 calories and tomorrow I'm only going to 1300 so it evens out.. since I shoot for 1400-1600 a day
don't beat your self up about it... we all give way to cravings... the issue is if you don't hop right back on the wagon... so make it your goal tomorrow your going to have a good healthy breakfast and exercise and I'd also drink some extra water tonight to help flush it out

Yes, I calorie count and it probably toppled me over 350 of my normal so I will take your suggestion and even it out tomorrow. Thanks for the advice and encouragement
Yeah, I just ate about 1200 calories worth of cookies (that's 1200 calories over maintenance). And I feel kind of like a failure since I want to learn how to be a healthy eater. But, as the wonderful ladies told me, you just have to get back on the wagon. At least we can start fresh tomorrow.
exactly! hehe we are all having the same problem tonight it looks like I'm about 350 over my normal limit as well.... I just seem soooo dang hungry I can't stop eating! and my guilty pleasure today was a whopper junior... whoops.. if I'd have stopped after having it I'd have been fine but instead I kept eating.. I had a bowl of special k only half of a serving though, and a piece of chicken breast, and some cantelope and pineapple... and I'm still hungry! grrr.. I hate feeling lie kthis- but i just decided there's nothing I can do tonight- but first thing tomorrow i"ll have a good healthy breakfast, drink some extra water tonight, make sure and work out tomorrow. and eat fewer cals as well..
That's the spirit! Remember, one night of french fries and velveeta doesn't ruin the rest of your day or your week. One night of french fries and velveeta will not immediately make you gain five pounds of fat (of water, maybe). One less than great day won't stop you. Good luck!
Where did you get the fries and cheese? I've cut back any junk, removed it from my kitchen so there's not a lot of damage that can be done. If I really crave fries I cook the orange ones (sweet potato) and eat them with low calorie ranch. I won't have fries at restaurants anymore. And the cheese, you can research the cheese with the least calories, best ingredients, that Velveta stuff, what ever it is, should it be in your kitchen at all? I like the book Eat This Not That, it has a lot of ideas on specific products to buy to save calories. If you are dead set on junk food Hungry Girl cookbook has ways to recreate the junk with healthier ingredients like Laughing Cow cheese. I'm on the Body for Life plan and we get a cheat day a week where we don't have to obsess about calories or dieting, yesterday I had pizza and chicken, overdid it, but the theory of cheating is that you shock your body and if it's just one meal a week, or a few you'll come out ok. BUT I would modify the "junk" that you like - say orange sweet potato fries with low cal cheese if you can...
